Can you see me?

knock on the door startles us from or conversation. Assuming it's the pizza we ordered, Catherine gets up and answers it, gasping at what she sees. Austin is standing at the door, a bouquet of flowers in one hand and his other a condom. "Well, I don't think this will do any good now but I brought it anyway."

Catherine smiles slightly, accepting his warm embrace.

"I'm coming with you to the doctor tomorrow. If it's really mine then I want to help you raise it." He says quietly into her ear. I take the roses from him so he can hold her tighter as she cries into his shoulder, his tattooed arms holding her to his chest. After a few minutes of her crying, austin rests his hands on the bump, smiling slightly as Catherine looks him in the eye. One hand cups her cheek as he pulls her into a soft kiss. She seems startled at first, but accepts it quickly.

Andy pulls me down next to him, smiling as Catherine leans right up against one of my good friends. He holds her there, looking over at me with a quick smile. I flash one back and lay my head on Andy's shoulder, feeling his hands work their way into my hair. I twist a piece of his own shorter hair through my fingers, earning a quiet chuckle from him. Austin moves to sit on the couch next to us, Catherine resting by his side, curling her head in his lap. He places a kiss on her forehead, seeming calmer than he was on the phone.

"Cat... I've been thinking... Do you maybe want to try this whole dating thing out?" Austin asks my sister softly, placing a kiss on her ear. She nods slightly, her eyes fluttering shut at his soft words. Andy and I bid goodbye to the new couple and head to our car. Each of us pulls out a cigarette, letting out a sigh of relief.

Notes

I'm sorry this is so short. I'm just extremely busy with all this stuff my mom makes me do and still sick and still have writersblock. So theres only two more chapters of this and then its over.
But I'm really excited because saturday my boyfriend asked me to be his girlfriend and he is really sweet <3 I just wished he lived closer. I guess thats what I signed up for when I said yes to a relationship across an ocean! ;P
